Call me crazy but if it keeps the cost down or it contributes to the reliability of the camera, 1080p is perfect. I'm not saying we won't make the switch eventually but we're still monitoring in 1080p on Tier-A union shows and I'm not sure when that'll change. Hell, I feel like the only person on set even close enough to their monitor to benefit from it would be the 1st ACs, and 1080p works well enough that they're usually more concerned about making sure their signal is stable and clean.
I will work with 3 cameras, all of which will record in 4K/50p on an internal SD card. They are not served and stand alone on a tripod. Recording possible for up to 2 hours.
Zoom and camera movement are done on the computer thanks to 4k or 6k
It is correct that the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K does not have a time limit of 29 minutes??
This is important!
Please correct me if I am misinformed, thank you.
For short recordings / live events of around an hour, I make a live mix with OBS. I capture this live mix at the HDMI output of the camera with: Blackmagic DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder.
Online FullHD is enough here for streaming.
I absolutely need Clean HDMI Out, no “rec” display either!
I need to simultaneously save these live events to the camera's internal SD card in at least 4K.
As a backup.
I need to save these live events, what I put together with OBS, on the computer at the same time.
A memory or trailer may possibly be edited from this later, so it is important that this recording:
Starting from the HDMI output of the camera, going into the computer, in at least 4K is possible.
That's the reason why I'm now buying 3 new cameras, preferably Blackmagic, if they can't do that I'll have to look for another manufacturer
